LEAN ON ME
The man who wrote the song "Lean on Me", Bill Withers, died of heart complications recently.
It was ironic because the song has been taken up as a hymn to the selflessness of health care workers and first responders in this era of the Covid-19 virus.
I heard the following version awhile back and offer it up again today to remember Withers and salute those on the front lines of this battle.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES
I know, I know, the news isn't getting any better.
That's why, for these few brief moments, we all need to take a break and remember that even in the direst of days there are people out there finding humor in it.
I don't create this stuff, you know, I'm only a conduit for it.
And once again, I thank those of you who send me the material for a few seconds of laughter.
As some wise man once said, "The light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train."
And with that . . here we go.

And this next one, sent to me yesterday by Doctor Jim, is my personal favorite of the week.
And for this F***ed Up Friday, those are the jokes, folks.
Now if you've got good weather take a walk or go out in your garden and putter around this weekend.
If not, just binge-watch old Bogart movies or Gene Kelly musicals or maybe, just one more time, settle in on the couch and try another viewing of Gone With the Wind, or Star Wars, or Star Trek, or anything starring Bill Murray.
Whatever but try to put your cares away for a couple of days.
And always . . . always . . . remember to keep laughing!
Here, kitty-kitty . . .

GENTLE BUT BUSY APRIL
April is finally here.
It's my lucky month, the fourth of the year.
I was born on 4-24-1940.
Judy and I have another wedding anniversary on April 7th.
Cynthia Nixon, the actress and political activist and daughter of my old Mexico days friend Walter, marks another year on the 9th.
The BRD has another birthday on April 11th.
My son, Troy, celebrates another trip around the sun on the 15th.
A former colleague, Ramblin' Ron does the same thing on the 16th.
A fellow blogger and former colleague, Tom and his lovely Lana, have another anniversary on the 19th.
I share my natal day with Shirley MacLaine and Barbara Streisand, among others.
By the time my big day (and this year it is a big one) comes around, can you imagine I'll be goggle-eyed?

Oh and, of course, today is April Fools' Day.
Enjoy it and stay well.
